    When I came to South Africa, I was surprised that only a few people are willing to learn indigenous African languages. So I encourage everyone to try and learn a language spoken in their province! It ensures the longevity of beautiful languages and is a sign of respect to millions of people.

    I have to congratulate you sir. Look how people on the street react, and just look at the comments below this video from mostly black folk, to see how positively a person reacts when you address them in their language!
    I am a white South African who does not speak an African language, and I felt ashamed when I watched your video. I am not as good with languages as you seem to be, but right there I have decided to immediately start learning an African language. Maybe the people chatting on here can recommend what language I should try? I live in Gauteng but travel to most corners of South Africa at times.

      Thank you man, we do everything to try and meet you halfway white folks, most of us have accepted whites or at least show respect. the problem seems to be on your side though(not all of you we know)... Atop, the negative projection of black societies still persists causing further misunderstanding and no will on your side to change the narrative... You try by all means to stay segregated, stop doing that... We are ready for a new South Africa. Ubuntu is the spirit - we need to be able to address issues without sounding racist, and we should learn to speak with one another, not through... all the best with your journey, I love what I'm seeing.

      @@JonWicksFX thanks brother. You are correct in a lot of what you are saying. Even when I speak English or Afrikaans and I pay the petrol pump attendant or cashier respect, I always get respect back WITHOUT FAIL. So imagine if I speak their language.
      I don't know if you remember, but a number of years ago (about the time of the soccer world cup) two SA rugby teams played a Super final in Soweto. I will always remember the goodwill between the white spectators on their way to the game and the local residents, selling beers, pap, meat roasted mealies etc, people stopping to chat to each other and just interacting a bit. I thought to myself, why do we waste these opportunities, why don't we do this more often, the occasion passes and we go back to focusing on our differences instead of what we have in common. And, without wanting to beat myself up about this, us white folk are mostly to blame.
      Thanks again for your response, I will remember what you said.

Many of us do understand but we don't make it know because we can hear the racist things being said about us and other non Africa races by the African people, it makes you not want to speak to them and not wanting to learn their language and their culture.

      everyone has a slight ignorance but thats a learning phase, the fact she said it outloud means it was only a thought since people in general shouldn't be alarmed or triggered, i doubt most people see it as a bad thing because internally people dont know how to de-escalate stuff so it hasn't been challenged. so respect isn't lost.

Why should I speak Afrikaans to my Sotho housekeeper when I don't make an effort to speak her native language? That's what "bridging the gap" means.

      You're in Gauteng, so it's easier to learn IsiZulu or SeSotho. IsiZulu is more common in GP. Look up Zulu lessons right here on TH-cam. There's also someone who gives Xhosa lessons, try utilising the TH-cam search function. All the best.

Perhaps consider signing up for online lessons advertised from R80 per lesson, just make sure to check the person's qualifications to teach isiZulu and let them show you their qualifications, a qualified person will not have a problem with this request.

Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
      Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
      So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

    That was truly impressive video really entertaining and informative video!
    Also, agree with this girl who said: If you're going to visit a country and you learn their language you get a better appreciation of their culture.
    I feel this can be true for a lot of us because it's easier to connect with someone who are being their authentic selves!

      It's sadly the great traces of Apartheid. Whites still are expected to not speak Bantu languages but Afrikaans and English only.

      @Dutchskyrimgamer .TH-cam Who has that expectation? Many white people in rural and farming communities speak African languages, it is no longer a given that a white person will not understand an African language plus there are also progressive white people in cities that speak African languages.

    bemüht hast, IsiXhosa zu lernen. Echt einzigartig, was du machst. Keiner der Leute in der deutschen Community hat es bis jetzt geschafft!

      Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
      Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
      So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.

    This was entertaining to watch! Well-done on your Xhosa fluency man. As a foreign language learner myself I am motivated to not give up on my Asian languages learning journey. I speak a little bit of Chinese and I know exactly the reaction you getting. Chinese people always look at me in Awe! it's so fun and warm. I visit China Malls / China Town and shops when I want to practice new vocabulary. It's been an incredible experience. Also with Indonesian, Japanese and Korean helps me dream big as well, I have a goal to one day visit these countries and put the language to use.
    l am proud of you man 👍👏👏👏👏👏
